Welcome BobSmalls! Wow that's interesting, my last name is Small. My '96 brighton is an auto. When I replaced that sensor, I think I pulled out all that plastic air intake stuff and some of those hoses around it, especially the hoses from PCV valve down to the block and to the bottom of the plastic air intake. Then if you look underneath that intake manifold pipe, you should see two sensors right next to each other. The one closer to the driver side (LH) is the ECTS. The one closer to the passenger side (RH) is the coolant temp sensor for the gauge. The ECTS uses like a copper sealing washer (not teflon tape or anything like that). Maybe later today I'll see if I can get pic.

Doesn't sound entirely unlike the issue on the early phase II 4eat's with slow to engage in drive but then is fine after that. Something about internal seal shrinkage preventing the rapid buildup of pressure or something. Do you have that ATF filter thingy installed? I haven't heard of that 'check valve' but a cheap/easy way to put something like that in would be to get a perma-cool filter mount from SummitRacing (about $15) and put an oil filter that fits the mount on there and put it in series with the cooler (just make sure the oil filter has an anti-drain back valve; most do - though not the OEM Subaru oil filter I don't think).

First you want to read that code. '95 it probably has the ODBII connector. Pick up a cheap code reader at Pepboys or something and just leave it hooked up so you can read the code. It should work though '95 had some oddities about the ODBII. Some codes get stored in history so it might be readable even if the light isn't currently on. Anything else is just a guess. Sure maybe it is the cat. But maybe it isn't. Or if it has a rear o2 sensor it could be that. Or it could be any of a number of other things. edit: Though you say the engine light is flashing, not on solid? Some causes include engine misfire (check plugs and wires and use OEM and make sure coil connection to plug wires aren't corroded or degraded), and cam position sensor too far out of agreement with crank position sensor (if you haven't changed the timing belt yet it's overdue and the belt could be stretching).

OK thanks for the info. It definitely doesn't look right. The confusing thing is the part # on the spring matches the part # listed in the King Springs catalog for an '00 Outback Wagon. Only thing I can think (other than mislabeled part/wrong application) is maybe in Australia the Outbacks have smaller diameter upper spring seats, like maybe from a Impreza or something. These same springs are listed for Forester as well.

Well I put one together to see how it looks. You can see the spring doesn't really sit in the outer groove of the upper spring seat, but it seems like it might be OK? The King Springs catalog also shows these springs for Forester 99-01 so maybe that has different upper spring seats? These springs must have a high rate, it was difficult to compress it enough to get the nut started on the strut.

The hubs are the same, at least they have the same part #: 28469FE000 HUB, REAR WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT FOR 1990-1999 LEGACYS ALL Same with the ABS sensor: 26740AA021 SENSOR ABS REAR RIGHT passengers side FOR 1990-1999 LEGACY ALL (non outback) 26740AA031 ENSOR ABS REAR LEFT drivers side FOR 1990-1999 LEGACY (non outback) ALL

Hi, I'm hoping someone who has used Scorpion/King Springs KSFR-32 lift/raised springs can help me out. King Springs and RenickMotorsports both show these should work on an '00 Outback. However, the top of the spring, where it goes to the upper spring seat, seems too small diameter. It does not fit in the upper spring seat like the OEM spring does. It's about 6" dia. The OEM spring is about 6.75" dia. Has anyone else had this experience or have any suggestions on how to proceed? It seems like it might still work, it's just the spring won't be sitting in the outer perimeter of the seat (shown here without rubber piece): Other info: I also have KSFR-26 for Outback ~96. The top diameter on these seems about right (6.75"), though I'm not sure why it's 'flattened'. But these are supposed to be for my '96 not my '00: Saw II spring compressor:
